loperamide and Addison Disease

loperamide has been researched along with Addison Disease in 3 studies

Loperamide: One of the long-acting synthetic ANTIDIARRHEALS; it is not significantly absorbed from the gut, and has no effect on the adrenergic system or central nervous system, but may antagonize histamine and interfere with acetylcholine release locally.
loperamide : A synthetic piperidine derivative, effective against diarrhoea resulting from gastroenteritis or inflammatory bowel disease.

Addison Disease: An adrenal disease characterized by the progressive destruction of the ADRENAL CORTEX, resulting in insufficient production of ALDOSTERONE and HYDROCORTISONE. Clinical symptoms include ANOREXIA; NAUSEA; WEIGHT LOSS; MUSCLE WEAKNESS; and HYPERPIGMENTATION of the SKIN due to increase in circulating levels of ACTH precursor hormone which stimulates MELANOCYTES.

"The effects of loperamide, an opiate analogue of the piperidine class on pituitary hormone secretion were evaluated in eight patients with Addison's disease."9.06Loperamide, an opiate analogue, inhibits plasma ACTH levels in patients with Addison's disease. ( Ambrosi, B; Bochicchio, D; Faglia, G, 1986)
"The effect of loperamide - a peripheral opiate agonist - on plasma ACTH response to Corticotropin-releasing Hormone (CRH) has been investigated in 6 patients with Addison's disease."7.67Loperamide modifies but does not block the corticotropin-releasing hormone-induced ACTH response in patients with Addison's disease. ( Ambrosi, B; Bochicchio, D; Colombo, P; Faglia, G; Ferrario, R, 1987)
"Loperamide is a peripheral opiate agonist able to inhibit ACTH secretion."6.66Loperamide, an opiate analog, differently modifies the adrenocorticotropin responses to corticotropin-releasing hormone and lysine vasopressin in patients with Addison's disease.
